CBO: Trump budget would create 720 billion deficit

[theHawk]

Not happy about it at all. We should be eliminating many Fed agencies, cutting off all foreign aid, and cut all welfare to able bodied men and women.
We'll see what Congress passes.

I'd love to see a Democrat proposal that reduces the deficit.

The deficit was reduced by 2/3 under Obama.

The total deficit went up every year under Obama. Yearly deficits where reduced after Republicans took back Congress, but it still had a deficit and added to the total each year.

But please, show us any time Dems have reduced spending when in complete power.

 

[gipper]

So now progs suddenly care about the debt, after Big Ears doubled it and they were silent.

HYPOCRISY!!!

Do you not understand the difference between the debt and the deficit? You should because Obama's budget reduced the deficit by 2/3.

Yeah, first he ballooned it by a billion percent and then cut that.

Ridiculously dishonest.

Um no actually. Bush ballooned it.

Stupid and irrelevant ramblings.

I believe everyone can see the problem/truth here. But keep blaming BOOOOOSH.

Why he chooses to believe the millionaires and billionaires who control his news, is beyond me. He has nothing in common with them and as a prog, he naturally hates them. Progs must go through life terribly confused.

 

[JoeB131]

Yeah...cause we all know non-whites don't use Welfare.

Joey just admit it. You are CRAZY!!!

No, dummy, you miss the point.

Welfare for folks of color because this country is racist as shit are things like SNAP, TANF, Section 8, Medicaid, etc. They actually have a lot of white people getting them to, but the stereotype you guys come up with is Reagan's "Welfare Queen" living off nice folks.

White People Welfare are things like Social Security, Medicare, Unemployment INsurance, which you all delude yourselves into thinking you've paid into, but you call them "entitlements".

The US cannot pay its debts back and needs an assignee in bankruptcy.

When you have the ability to print the world's reserve currency, you essentially believe money grows on trees.

The FED has been privatized 100 years ago. Printing more money does not solve the problem, anyway. Only a reasonable budget does.

What a ******* moron, how can the "DEFICIT" be reduced yet we went from 9 trillion dollars of debt in 2009 to 19.5 trillion dollars of debt in 2018? Because liberals have been taught Common Core and have no clue about "MATH". in 8 years with 10 trillion dollars added, that means 1.25 trillion dollars was created each year. If Trump does 780 billion that is 500 billion dollars less than the brown turd president who is a habitual liar, like his voters.

Actual stuff people were FORCED to pay into, so they could have some of it back when they retire, while, welfare, SNAP, TANF and other bullshit, keep people poor, liberal plans take from those that work and give to the liberal scum who don't work.

Joe owns 2 houses , and doesn't want to share them with those coming across illegal, but he wants the rest of US to pay for them. Joe is a ******* hypocrite.

They prove over and over again how easy the ruling class and the elite media can dupe them. Their ignorant argument on the national debt, is clear cut proof.

Okay, let's look at that.

If you live to be 72, you get back everything you paid into Social Security.
If you are unemployed for 10 weeks, you get back everything your EMPLOYER paid into Unemployment.
If you have one major illness, you get back everything you paid into Medicare.

MEANWHILE..

Most people on "the other bullshit" are only on it for a short time. Most are off of it in a year, when they get back on their feet. The average time on assistance is 18 months.

Joe owns 2 houses , and doesn't want to share them with those coming across illegal, but he wants the rest of US to pay for them. Joe is a ******* hypocrite.

Guy, I paid over $20,000 in taxes last year on $71,000 in income. And the government wastes a lot of it on planes that don't fly and bridges to nowhere in the Red States.

In fact, while a Red state like Alabama gets 1.98 for every dollar sent to Washington, a state like Illinois only gets .79 out of every dollar we send to washington.

Move to Alabama then...dumb ass.

How many times Joe do I have to show you this? I guess many more times. Hard to see with liberal thinking in mind.

War on poverty cost
The War on Poverty has cost $22 trillion -- three times more than what the government has spent on all wars in American history. Federal and state governments spend $1 trillion in taxpayer dollars on America's 80 means-tested welfare programs annually.

Um no actually. Bush ballooned it.

The Bush admin did pass the 2009 budget, duh..

Pretty sure it was Obama who decided to throw 800 billion into air.

American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 - Wikipedia

And Bush had TARP..

I am not defending Bush. But trying to claim that Obama wasn't the king of spending and deficits is simply ludicrous.

No, it's not ludicrous at all. You can't slash spending in a recession, unless you're looking to turn it into a depression, which is what Republicans wanted to happen.

In addition to putting Bush's wars into the budget (something Bush avoided doing to hide the real amount he was spending), there was also the loss of revenue as the economy was shedding 500,000 jobs a month.

Republicans were determined to make Obama a one term President and they didn't care how much they hurt the country with their fiscal policies. The party who famously coined the line "Deficits don't matter", became obsessed with the deficit while Obama was President, while steadfastly refusing to end Bush's tax cuts.

Jimmy Carter handed Reagan a balanced budget and Reagan promptly cut taxes and went on a spending spree, running up the largest deficit in history. Bush I added to Gulf War to the deficit, but Clinton managed to balance the budget, and handed off a solid economy to W.

Before you go on about the .com bubble bursting, that's hardly Clinton's responsibility. Stocks in internet businesses were grossly overvalued, and those values weren't based on real assets and sales, but rather "potential" revenues and growth.

Obama did an amazing job of increasing revenues, and reducing the deficit, despite the obstruction he faced from a hostile legislative branch.

So now that Republicans control all three branches, look for Republicans to claim that deficits don't matter, or that "increased revenues from growth will pay for the tax cuts and cover the deficit". It didn't happen under Reagan, it didn't happen under W, and it sure as hell won't happen under Trump, but somehow, those who continue to ***** about Obama's deficits will be just fine with a Republican deficit.

CBO: Trump's budget doesn't balance federal ledger

Now, as usual, USMB cons will call this "fake news" because ANY criticism of Trump fits that description in their tiny minds, but because they won't be able to come up with a non-partisan source that disputes the claim, the rest of us will ignore them as always.

No, just that the CBO is historically very inaccurate and proven very wrong many times and obviously isn't taking all factors into account to arrive at such a number. That and we all know that had the CBO predicted that Trump's budget would result in a 720 Billion dollar surplus savings, you never would have even made this thread!

False, but you know that. You choose to believe Republican lies because you like what they say. It has no basis in fact but it "feels" right to you so you're good with it.

So now progs suddenly care about the debt, after Big Ears doubled it and they were silent.

HELLO?

Obama brought the running deficit that he inherrited from $1 TRILLION dollars a year down to $4 hundred and something....he reduced the yearly deficit by nearly 600 BILLION a year under his 8 year reign!

Says the man that wants "free health care" and "free college" and probably "free rubbers" and "free abortions" and God only knows what else.

Yea, you really do care about spending, don't you.
